Canvas - "The Story Tale of Saffran"

Hello wonderful peeps!

My gosh how fast a week passes! quite a bit to do at work with only weeks to go before the summer holidays set in.

Today I'm sharing a canvas that I made for the art exhibition back in May. It's called "The Story Tale of Saffran" or saffron as it translates into English. Saffran is a little blind puppy who had a really tough time coming into this world but who found her loving humans and a very good safe home. It now hangs in her new home as a hommage to the amazing woman who brought Saffran back to life - J.








As in all fairytales, there are woodland animals and sweet 
details like the resin mushrooms on this canvas. 
I have kept the colours sweet and light, 
the feeling of hope and happiness.


The resin deer is a symbol of Saffron herself. 
Her mummy says her little face looks like
that of the sweetest little deer.

And for those of you who might be interested in checking out 
the recording of the Live With Prima show that I
broadcasted on Tuesday, 10 June 2014,
here's the link to the recording on Ustream

Still pinching myself, this is me who has never ever done
a video, let alone created anything for a live audience.

I am truly humbled that Prima had such faith in me, and thought
there is people out there who would like to see
me create one of my pages.

I give thanks in my heart to the Allmighty powers above
for blessing me with this fantastic opportunity.
I am grateful beyond words.

  9. Hey beautiful :) Just had to pop in and take a peep at the closies of your gorgeous layout. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for featuring me and my boy...whilst I can understand you choosing him I am perplexed as to why you want this old girl on your fabulous work! You were sensational to watch, and despite your claims looked like a true pro. I cannot wait for the next tutorial. Love, as always, Ali x
